35.THE BANYAN TREE
|
|
O YOU shaggy-headed banyan tree standing on the bank of the pond, have you forgotten the little child, like the birds that have nested in your branches and left you?
|
Do you not remember how he sat at the window and wondered at the tangle of your roots that plunged underground?
|
The women would come to fill their jars in the pond, and your huge black shadow would wriggle on the water like sleep struggling to wake up.
|
Sunlight danced on the ripples like restless tiny shuttles weaving golden tapestry.
|
Two ducks swam by the weedy margin above their shadows, and the child would sit still and think.
|
He longed to be the wind and blow through your rustling branches, to be your shadow and lengthen with the day on the water, to be a bird and perch on your top-most twig, and to float like those ducks among the weeds and shadows.
